10. Daphnia (Daphnia) schmackeri Poppe et Richard, 1890 View in CoL

Daphnia Schmackeri Poppe and Richard 1890, p. 74 View in CoL –76.

Daphnia longispina var. schmackeri Poppe et Richard View in CoL in Richard 1896a,p. 298–299.

Type locality. "Lac Hakone, près Yokohama" (Poppe & Richard 1890), Honshu, Japan .

Richard's specimens. A few females from DGF 905, “Hakone. See bei Yokohama. Japan 5”.

Comments. According to Flössner (1972, 2000) specimens of D. schmackeri belong to D. longispina so the name is a junior synonym of D. longispina O. F. Müller, 1776 . However, genetic studies have demonstrated the presence of specimens belonging to a "non-European" species similar to D. longispina in Japan, but have not revealed specimens of D. longispina s. str. in Japan ( Ishida et al. 2006; Ishida 2007). In Japan, specimens attributed to D. schmackeri probably are D. dentifera Forbes, 1893 , a common pelagic species ( Ishida 2007).
